Core Connection Pilates to open in Sheboygan on March 1 | Streetwise

SHEBOYGAN - A new Pilates studio will officially open in Sheboygan on Friday, March 1. Core Connection Pilates will offer drop-in classes as well as one-on-one training.

Owned by Kayla Schetter, the studio will offer traditional mat classes as well as classes using Reformer machines, which offer added resistance through mechanisms like pulling straps, foot bars and more.

Schetter says Pilates is about more than just working your core.

"Pilates is actually a full body exercise," she said. "Whatever muscle group we're focusing on we're also thinking about the rest of the body. If you're supposed to be working the core, per say, what are the shoulders supposed to be doing? They should be relaxed."

Schetter comes from a dance background and says she used to use Pilates as a way to stay fit. Before opening up her own studio this March, she received about a year of one-on-one Pilates training.

She says that there are classes for all different skill sets and encourages people to drop in on a class to see what it is all about.

Core Connection Pilates currently has over 20 classes on the schedule including morning, evening and weekend classes. She says her past clients had schedules all over the place so she wanted to offer classes that would cater to many schedules.
